Here is one idea to replace the rusty bed. Not sure yet.

Adding a 1991 V3500 crew cab to the herd will make your other trucks jealous.

You didn't happen to be a reader of Cartoons Magazine "back in the day" did you?

 

[Desert_K5]

No but I really dig that. I was in jr high when that mag ended. Our artist is old enough to have read those.

 

[Desert_K5]

Matter of fact I believe he was a contributor to it.

I'm not an artist. I do layouts and design and leave the drawing and creative to more talented folks.

Here's another we just finished up. Can't work on my blazer right now so we're doing artwork. lol

I used to love that cool Rat Fink style car and truck art they always had in Hot Rod magazine. I want a cool blazer or squarebody on boggers draw up in that style to get as a tattoo. I haven't been able to find anything online like I want. Maybe I need to have someone like you guys do something up. Most tattoo artists aren't truck guys and just don't really know where to go with it.

 

[Desert_K5]

It takes some time to complete but we can handle it for you.

Parts collecting till I get my 77 from the shop. Trans rebuild is taking too long. Itching to get going and time is tight. Going to try this knuckle, it appears to be good stuff. Need tubing for the draglink or order one from ORD depending on time. Ditching the wagon train 6" springs in favor of 4" Tuff Country & ORD flip kit.

Is that one of those ebay high steer knuckles, I can't remember the company name.

 

[Desert_K5]

Yeah it's east west off road i think

 

[Desert_K5]

PSC box showed up.

Ok, anyone here have experience with the 4l80e trans solenoids? 1991 4x4 crew cab shifts fine and goes down the road good as long as I'm in drive. When in overdrive it's doesn't always engage and it hunts for it. Would installing the solenoid pack be worth trying? Something like the link attached. https://globaltransmissionparts.com...MIvN-N3vb33AIVFsZkCh1V5ATjEAQYAiABEgIjg_D_BwE

It could fix the problem. Also check the brake switch, make sure it’s not engaging going down the road.

 

[Desert_K5]

Didn't think of that. Would that mess with just the overdrive? Only have problems in overdrive

 

[Fastereddie]

If you’re cruising in D and shift it to OD what does it do? Just stay in 3rd or go to neutral?

 

[Desert_K5]

Stays in 3rd

 

[Fastereddie]

But sometimes you will get 4th? Maybe when cold? Or never

 

[Desert_K5]

It seems to work sporadically until warmed up.
